We’re pleased to share with you the following changes
to California’s Notification Laws. Please note that
the information is not a complete description of the
changes, but an attempt to briefly discuss some of the
principles.
Walk-Through Inspection Process Mandated
Governor Davis has signed AB 2330, requiring rental
property owners to notify tenants and perform a
walk-through inspection with residents no earlier than two weeks
prior to the termination of the tenancy. The intent of
this new law is to give residents an opportunity to
remedy identified deficiencies in the unit prior to
move out and to limit bad faith retention of security
deposit.
60-Day Notice Requirement
Effective January 1, 2003, rental property owners must
provide a 60-day advance written notice to a resident if the
owner elects to terminate a tenancy and the resident
has lived in the unit for one year or longer. (If the
resident has lived in the unit for less than one year,
the owner must provide at least 30-days’ written notice before
terminating the tenancy.) An exception to the 60-day
notice is provided for property owners who are in the
process of selling their residential property.
Notice to Enter
Except in the case of an emergency, when the resident
has abandoned or surrendered the premises, or to
exhibit the unit to prospective or actual purchasers,
rental property owners or their agents must provide
residents with a written notice at least 24 hours
prior to entering the dwelling unit. (If mailed to the
resident, owner must provide at least six (6) days
prior notice to the intended entry.)
We hope you find this information helpful. However, if
additional assistance is required staff members at
Montebello are happy to help.
